Dan Conlin Model Railway

I model the DAR mainly in HO with a basement layout depicting Kentville and the DAR's CVR branchline to Kingsport. I've also experimented with a little bit of N Scale, a DAR wharf diorama and a G Scale locomotive and boxcar.

HO Kingport Sub Progress

Progress is slow but steady the 11 foot by 15 foot HO Scale DAR layout depicting the Kingsport Subdivision of the DAR between Kentville and Kingsport, circa 1937. Kentville is nearly complete one one end while the Kingsport Wharf grows on the other with scenery slowly filling in between.
